⚠️ Perps Markets Just Priced Anthropic at $2.1 Trillion
Crypto perpetual futures are now trading a valuation for AI firm Anthropic that sits at roughly $2.1 trillion 🪙 — about twice the level of its most recent private funding round.
That gap is the real story here. Private markets and perp markets are two very different rooms, and right now they disagree by a wide margin. Perps let traders take leveraged, two-way positions on an asset with no formal listing, so the price they print is essentially a live crowd bet rather than a settled valuation.
It's a sign of how hungry crypto markets have become for exposure to the AI narrative 🔥 — and a reminder that a thin, leverage-heavy market can drift far from what traditional investors would pay.
Worth watching: whether the private side catches up, or the perp price cools off 🔻. Either way, it shows perps are increasingly being used as a price-discovery venue for assets that never asked to be one.
Not financial advice.
